Answer to Question 1

D
Alternate patterns of relationships include multi-adult households, skip-generation families (grandparents caring for grandchildren), communal groups with children, nonfamilies (adults living alone), and cohabitating partners.

Answer to Question 2

C
The risk for aspiration is greater in the supine position; thus avoid this position when the patient is confused, agitated, experiencing a decreased level of consciousness, or is at risk for aspiration.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
